Hi.

 

I currently have php java to get my database results and limit the amount of data shown by a given value.  The js includes buttons to go forward or backward in the database.  Everything is all fine and dandy except I'm trying to add a very simple search for the user as well.

 

 

I want the user to be able to select either "firstname" or "lastname" to search through the database and display the resulting rows based of the first three characters entered into the search criteria.

 

 

I'm not sure where to start on this... Do I have to add something the js (I'm not very familiar with js), or should I add mysql_query's in the php linked file?

I may be able to help.

 

What I do is a multi select for mysql depending on what is selected will bring the different results.

 

These will not be your values, you can modify this to your own needs, but should give you the idea of how can go about it.

 

<?php
$display = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['display']);
$order = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['order']);
$search_name = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['search_name']);
$search_words = mysql_real_escape_string($_GET['search_words']);

//search get variables from search form
if ($search_name == "first_begins_characters") {
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE firstname LIKE '".$search_words."%' ORDER BY $display $order LIMIT $startrow,$posts_per_page" );
$total_count = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE firstname LIKE '".$search_words."%'");
} elseif ($search_name == "first_contains_characters") {
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE firstname LIKE '%"."$search_words"."%' ORDER BY $display $order LIMIT $startrow,$posts_per_page" );
$total_count = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE firstname LIKE '%"."$search_words"."%'");
} elseif ($search_name == "last_begins_characters") {
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE lastname LIKE '".$search_words."%' ORDER BY $display $order LIMIT $startrow,$posts_per_page" );
$total_count = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE lastname LIKE '".$search_words."%'");
} elseif ($search_name == "last_contains_characters") {
    $result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE lastname LIKE '%"."$search_words"."%' ORDER BY $display $order LIMIT $startrow,$posts_per_page" );
$total_count = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users WHERE lastname LIKE '%"."$search_words"."%'");
} elseif ($search_name == "all") {
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY $display $order LIMIT $startrow,$posts_per_page" );
$total_count = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");
} else {

//if anything goes wrong above or nothing selected, this will be used as the default query instead
$result = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users ORDER BY $display $order LIMIT $startrow,$posts_per_page" );
$total_count = mysql_query("SELECT * FROM users");
}

?>
